June 20 chase
Some strong and organizing activity was moving eastward through the Chugwater vicinity early-mid afternoon, and we were approaching it from east-to-west through Scottsbluff to the Yoder, WY vicinity. We stopped maybe ten miles west of a sculpted and low storm base that was coming at us. It looked like that was the main show, but then a relatively new base not far to our SSW spit out a tornado. This tornado persisted for a few minutes! I was surprised that that occurred where it did. We were chased eastward back towards Scottsbluff, and a larger and more-prominent circulation was evident on radar, right on our heels. That was rather rain-wrapped and we could not discern a tornado for sure.
